The Weighted Blanket Road Test: Can It Really Ease Anxiety?
At Woosah, we’re all about helping you find your calm—whether through mindful practices, relaxation techniques, or products designed to ease stress. One tool that has been making waves in the world of relaxation is the weighted blanket. Recently, Fashion Journal put it to the test, exploring whether this cosy companion can really help with anxiety and sleep. Intrigued by their experience, we wanted to share our thoughts on why weighted blankets are a game-changer for relaxation—especially our very own Woosah Weighted Blanket. Read the full article here.
Why Weighted Blankets Work
Weighted blankets use deep pressure stimulation (DPS), a technique that applies gentle, even pressure across the body—like a warm hug. This sensation has been shown to increase serotonin (the happy hormone) and decrease cortisol (the stress hormone), making it a powerful tool for anyone looking to feel more at ease. Whether you struggle with anxiety, restlessness, or simply want to upgrade your relaxation routine, a weighted blanket can help create a sense of calm.
Our Take on the Woosah Weighted Blanket Experience
We know that relaxation isn’t one-size-fits-all, so we put our own Woosah Weighted Blanket to the test, focusing on three key areas: sleep quality, anxiety reduction, and overall comfort.
1. Sleep Quality: One of the first things we noticed was the immediate sense of calm when slipping under the Woosah Weighted Blanket. “It feels like a gentle hug that eases the transition into sleep.” Over time, we saw a real difference—less tossing and turning, fewer wake-ups, and an overall feeling of waking up more refreshed.
2. Anxiety Reduction: After a long day, wrapping up in the Woosah Weighted Blanket became a ritual. “There’s something about the steady pressure that signals the body to relax.” Whether using it while watching TV or just before bed, it provided a grounding and soothing experience, making it easier to unwind.
3. Overall Comfort: The key to a great weighted blanket is the right balance between weight and breathability. The Woosah Weighted Blanket keeps things cosy without overheating, making it the perfect companion for any season. Choosing the right weight is essential—most experts recommend around 10% of your body weight for the best experience.
The Verdict: Should You Try It?
If you’re looking for a simple way to enhance your relaxation and sleep, the Woosah Weighted Blanket might be exactly what you need. “While it’s not a magic cure for anxiety, it’s a great tool for anyone looking to feel more grounded and at ease.”
